math85 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hi all, This is really embarrassing, but I was cleaning my car's EGR valve over the weekend using Wynn's EGR valve cleaner spray, as I do regularly. However, this time, the plastic straw supplied with the spray shot out and went into my car's air intake! I tried to retrieve it but there was no sign of it. At this point, I thought I'd killed my car. I carried on with the cleaning anyway and followed the process (let the car idle, drive for 5 miles under 3,00rpm) and the car seems fine... Silly question, but should I be concerned? Has anyone else done this and if so, what was the outcome? Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
math85 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi all, An update on this for anyone interested... 1,500 miles later and the car is fine and I've not experienced any problems yet! Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That's a relief I bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
